For people who dont have stage fright when its singing.
i love to sing and i have a really nice voice. but i cant get over my fear of singing. i want to be in my Spring Musicals and definatley Sing for my 8th grade year at the talent show. i joined chior so that can help and it has. i had a solo to do but it wasnt infront of alot of people. im afraid if i will freeze up infront of tons of people. any ideas on how i can make sure im over it and how to get over it just in case im not. i also sing with my instructor but its easy not singing infront of a little bit of people. so if you have any tips please tell me. i want to do this and not freeze up.

My advice is to start small then big.By what I mean is sing infront of a few friends.When you think your ready to move on to more people,Sing in front of your friends and your family...once your fine with that sing in front of more people.This might help and I hope it does :)

aghh totally ive been there.. i never singed in front of anyone.. then one day i was singing and im like mannn i sound good haha.. so i sung for my mom, my best guy freind and my best gurl friend and they loved it.. well my other guy freind herd me and wanted me in his band but that was a year ago.. from then on i keep it to myself and i tryed for my church chior.(youth) i did good considering i ddint know those songs and everyone else did.. but i sung it differently then the youth does.. i made group b btu that is still none the less awesome.. i guess what im saying is that u shouldnt not do something cause of fright. that is the worst way to strike out.. just go for it. what is the worst that can happen. be rejected.... what is better actually going for it and gettin over it or just thinkin about it and letting it stress you?

I was the sameeeeee exact way. And now I'm my town's "Dracut Idol" winner ((like american idol, yeah corny i know.))
Start by just pushing yourself a little more, and have confidence in what your doing. You know your song, and you sing it well. You want to show people what you can do. Let it out. Sing at home, then just sing at school a little more, and try to put yourself out there vocally a little more. Just pure confidence, and just reassure yourself it's not a big deal.
Good luck =]

i don't sing, but i have been playing piano for 9 years so i have had many performances. what always helps me is warming up. since you're talking about singing, i'm going to share a little story. peggy lee, the lady who sang "fever" years ago, used to have a ritual before she would go on stage. she would stand behind the curtain, scream, stomp her foot, and then the curtain would open and she would begin. maybe you should create your own little "ritual." i know i have one- i go outside and skip around the parking lot. one thing that helps me is when i convince myself that it really doesn't matter if i mess up because nobody in the audience can play as well as i do (so convince yourself that you're the best singer in the world, pretty much). confidence is key. convince yourself (and the people around you, for that matter) that you can do it. just keep telling yourself that no matter what happens, nobody cares if you mess up. even if you're off pitch or in the wrong key, just keep going until you get it right. the audience won't care if it doesn't sound right, but if you stop and freeze they'll notice that something is up. i've done piano performances where i've completely forgotten pages of songs that i was supposed to be playing, so i just played random chords until i remember the very last line of the song. but since the piece that i was playing was harder than all the others and i pretended like i knew what i was doing, the audience gave me a standing ovation. it's all in your mind. just keep reminding yourself that you can do it.

Start by singing in front of one family member (if you're self-conscious, don't face them at first or put a book in front of your face), then a few, then maybe your friends or extended family. Also ask your voice instructor for some ideas...breathe deeply, picture something relaxing, try to tune out the audience and pretend you're singing by yourself in your room. If you have a good voice there's nothing to be afraid of. Besides, you're more likely to mess up if you're scared and freaking out!

Dear dont wanna freeze up,
Well I can totally relate. This probably wont help but when I was in 4th grade i sang a solo and puked in a gurls hair afterwards, but in 8th grade for a talent show I sang a song ocapella (without music) and I did perfect because before I went on stage and before I went on I jumped around and talked with my friends, which helped alot. anyways back to you, yeah you'll have butterflies in your stomache but theyll go away. JUst pretend that your in your shower singing to yourself but really concentrate hard and you'll do great. Hope I helped
sincerely,

Here are some things you can do:
1) Take deep breaths before you go on stage. Try to get your heart rate down to a normal pace.
2) Imagine everyone in their underwear (or something else you would find funny).
3) Convince yourself that it is no big deal.
4) Even if you're not confident, pretend like you are. Stages are the perfect places for acting.
Hope this helps and don't worry, the audience will love you.

Just pretend your in your room by yourself practicing infront of the mirror...if you dont have to like move around while singing do what most people do until they get use to it...close your eyes until youve realized that you can open them, try performing infront of family and friends and then work your way up.
hope i helped
